February 2018:
"So, Lin Chung?" Commander Apetrully looked at the sharpshooter. "Are you ready to join First Squad again?"
Lin Chung looked at his squad and smiled. He shook his head.
"What?" Mighty Ray asked. "You don't want to come back to First Squad?" He sounded slightly hurt, but Lin Chung shook his head.
"I think Kowloon is better fitted."
The warrior in question looked at him, eyes wide with shock. Out of all the results he expected, he did not anticipate a scene where Lin Chung would refuse his position at First Squad and let him keep it.
"But-" Alpha Girl frowned. "What about Second Squad? We only have four members."
Kowloon secretly found this ironic, considering that Mr. NoHands hardly ever went on group missions, thus resulting in First Squad being mostly comprised of four members and, occasionally, five members.
"I think Yan Ching is up for the challenge."
Kowloon found himself staring at Lin Chung. What had had the Warlord government done to him? First, he refuses his position in First Squad, and then suggesting Yan Ching as a part of Second Squad? Wow. He looked at Yan Ching, who looked like he couldn't believe it either. However, Yan Ching's eyes were shining with the prospect.
Commander Apetrully smiled. "I suppose so." He sighed. "However, that is up to Alpha Girl Latifah."
All turned to the Second Squad leader. She eyed Yan Ching for a while, clearly considering the pros and the cons. "Alright." she said gruffly. "You can join Second Squad."
Yan Ching's eyes widened and he grinned, face alight with delight. "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
All these years, he had thought that he was under appreciated. Who knew that this dangerous undercover mission could allow him, Yan Ching and one of the smallest in Big Green (though his skill was one of the best) the position of being in Second Squad? This was a dream come true.
"Then, is NoHands still leader of First Squad?" Mystique Sonia frowned.
Lin Chung shrugged. "To be honest, I'd give Kowloon a chance. He seems to have done pretty well in First Squad."
"What makes you say that?!" Mighty Ray demanded.
"The fact that none of you protested like you would have a few years ago when Kowloon temporarily joined First Squad in my absence the first time."
All three looked at one another in surprise and then turned to Lin Chung. "How'd you find out?"
"Trust me," Lin Chung grinned. "I know more than you think."
Lady Green wandered around. It had been a few days since the Panthers and White-Wolves had joined them, and she felt a lot better now. With Lin Chung back, some sort of normalcy returned to Big Green. He still hung out around First Squad, but also went on solo or duo missions.
She decided to go and visit the Peasants. After all, she realised, she didn't know a lot about them - not like Lin Chung, who clearly had been raised amongst them. However, as she wandered around, she noticed a lot of chatter. Of course, with the Panthers and White-Wolves, chatter was clearly going to be expected.
However, what froze her was the name "Wei". Wasn't that the name of the Emperor's son before East Citadel was invaded? Hm…Lady Green frowned. There was a possibility that it was someone else named "Wei". But she had to be sure, just in case.
